First time doing watercooling. Need help with fans, could I use stock ones that come with my case (NZXT H440 designed by razer) or should I purchase others. If so which ones. Also this is only going to be a CPU loop, is what I have listed above to much or not enough? Will everything work togeather like the tubes and fittings? Sorry for all the dumb questions but thank you for taking your time to read and reply.

If you want to do water cooling, you can use that stock fans. But if you want better, you can get like noctua (they're great). When you try to fill the reservoir, make sure the coolant can get into the pump otherwise the pump can break. Before proceeding, MAKE SURE you've jumped the PSU just put paper clip to the green wire to any black wire. Don't close the reservoir yet because you need to have air go in so the flow is nice, when you plug the cable the coolant should flow. When the coolant in the reservoir is like half way empty unplug the cable and refill the coolant, and repeat. If you're still confused you can see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk3V64ZSsEI

2 120 45mm thick rads are more than enough for cooling your cpu.You will be fine with only using a single 120 45mm thick rad,so the case fans are good enough,plus the fpi or fins per inch is pretty low as well,meaning you need less static pressure to move air through.So in my opinion,go with the case fans.
